The recent beef eating controversy at Dadri, Bisahra village North India brings into focus a larger issue.

Who should have the right to murder animals ?
The right to murder a criminal lies with the government. The government appoints a hangman to murder a condemned man.

Similiarly, I propose that the right to murder animals should be entrusted to the government. Let the govt appoint persons who are authorized to murder animals according to some rules and regulations framed by the law making bodies. The government might award contracts to certain certified companies to do this job. Common people should not be allowed to murder animals. It is easy for a murderer of animals to lose sense and start murdering people. We don’t want to live with murderers as neighbours in our locality. Do we?

It’s time to abandon the mindlessly repeated mantra that religious belief has been the greatest source of human conflict and violence. Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history.
